Bushido Donokama
The Bushido Donokama is an underground group of rebels connected and protected under the cover of a religious sect called the Apostles of the Golden Lotus as well as members o the shattered and defunct Zumurai political party started by Visell's Father, Soulman, and his co-founders Victor Von Valley, Naomi, and Junichiro. Visell's mother Naomi remains the lead cosponsor and director and financier of the Bushido Dk.
The Bushido DK is the main faction that keeps the hopes and goals of the shattered Zumurai party and it's defected loyalist alive.
They operate out of a giant refurbished Buddhist temple sequestered inconspicuously in North-East Shine-town, near Quwami City. This functions as their main base of operation housing, sanctuary, and fortress. This facility is also used for assisting and providing for citizens.
Structure
At the top of the organization are the 4 main players responsible for keeping the Organization afloat and the ones that brought it into existence. Naomi Nypolo Nandalls is the primary funder, collaborator, and supplier for the organization. She works closely with the actual leader of the organization and the master of the temple that acts as the base of operations, Sensei Ugetsu or Brother 1. Naomi is code-named Mother 1. She receives help from dissociated entities like the Lead Military director of Undo-Lashiima Myris Mucku Moko and the other members of the Cradle of Humanity project Nolgi Nygen and Yosha Yuatsumi.
Sensi Ugestu is guarded and informed by his inner circle. The 3 members of the inner circle of the Temple are known as the Steel Nailed Trinity, referring to the fact that they all have extensive augmentation, particularly on the hands. Its members are Brother 3, DoShay, Brother 2 Nabindigo, and Sister 1, Arthur (Dedestra).
Brother 3 and 2 are responsible for training recruits and general organizational procedures. Brother 2 focuses on intense hand to hand combat training, diet, member wellness, weapon procurement, and assault planning. Brother 3 handles reconnaissance, supplies shipments, establishing safe houses, and spies. Sister 1 has more complex and delicate work. She handles documentation, financial details, diplomacy, general strategy, infield operation, And being the handler of the Shogunzuri, the most elite warrior of the temple and the leader of the Zumurai reformation, Visell. Sister 1 also has the responsibility of dealing with the Temple's a charity and community wellness. She oversees the care and health of any citizens housed at the temple as well as managing, beds, clothes and meal distribution, childcare, and healthcare for their patrons and tenets.
In tandem with all of them are the members of the Zumurai Reformist. While they are all technically part of this, but some members have more specific goals in mind. The Bushido Donokama is mainly a domestic revolutionary group while the parts that are Zumurai Reformists work in the legislature and underground to intact socialistic reformist policy into local governments while also helping to radicalize the populous while defaming the current legislature, delegitimizing thee aristocracy and detracting the establishment. The leadership of the Zumurai Reformists is part of The Bushido Donokama, The Bushido Donokama is the military apparatus of Zumurai Reformists. They are two haves of the same whole. Both are weak individually and wouldn't exist without each other. Visell is the main player of The Zumurai Reformist. While she is not a politician; she has muscle, skill, power, an honor-bound chip on her shoulder, and a passion for fighting for her ideals.
Visell and Arthur keep their ear to the ground looking out for information about misdeeds and criminal activity propagated by the Kleptocracy and the Corporatocracy that has continued to tighten its grasp on the country. Visell takes it upon herself to take the fight directly towards the top, constantly duking it out with various, syndicates, private militaries, mercenaries, mobs, and assassins contracted by the Crony Capitalist Oligarchy. Visell is also in charge of destroying and retrieving dangerous weaponry, materials, chemicals, and experiments sold to and stolen by private companies out of the ECSV: Pandora Vaults. The Pandora Vaults are massive, secure containment chambers meant to house various experiments and inventions made by the Cradle of Humanity Scientist. These inventions range from, old obsolete gear meant to be improved on at a later date, broken and trivial trinkets; works in progress and failed experiments to unfinished masterworks, innovative weaponry saved for a potential interstellar war with hostile aliens or the United States, and prototype weapons of mass destruction shelved for potentially world-ending capabilities. Many items were set to be dismantled but the initiative was halted and much of the technology was sold and patented to the highest betting Private entities.
Naomi, Sensei Ugetsu, and Arthur work on actually enacting policy and changing the legislature. Visell and the lower parts of the Bushido DK make the case for voting in different legislators while protecting people from the golden talons of the burgeoning Kleptocracy. Visell works in the field to make the case for the return of the Zumurai party along with Arthur and the lower parts of the Bushido DK; calling for the people to run for office under the Neo-Zumurai Platform, disrupting and meddling the operations of criminal corporatist, rallying and radicalizing citizens, starting protest and engaging in civil unrest and disobedience exposing the pusillanimous dealings of the Kleptocracy and generally being bratty leftist, intimidating the establishment whenever viable.
Culture
The teachings of the Bushido DK are strongly based on parts of Centrist Marxism, Humanitarianism, and Minimalism. The concept of mental balance comes into play.
The members of the Bushido DK enjoy a slim diet of mainly, steamed vegetables, curries, lentils, lean white meats, and cheese. They wear long green robes that are decorated with unique belting and weaving and other articles of fabric. They are taught to only have a small number of valuable possessions that they covet. For example, Arthur owns; A synthesizer, a small laptop, and a sizable collection of books. Sensei Ugetsu had a single TV and a mini-fridge. Brother 2 has a collection of action figure collectibles, a small TV, and a gaming system, Brother 3 has a high-capacity gaming computer.
They work under the principles of humanitarianism. They believe human life is sacred and the poor and the downtrodden are their main concern. They never turn away a tenet in need. Members will regularly give up their own beds to house tenets and sleep in the main sanctuary if need be. The temple boasts a massive congregation, centered around a giant golden Buddha statue.
Public Agenda
The Bushido DK's main objective is securing the safety of the Commonwealth peoples of Undo-Lashiima while keeping the legislature and the corporations that make up the kleptocracy on their toes. They take a role in providing welfare for the people where the government has failed. They are a non-profit organization and receive supplies from donations, the second-hand market, and reappropriated resources and funds by Naomi.
Assets
They are backed with intelligence, supplies, weapons, funding, and protection by Naomi. She gives them inside intel and access to certain perks around the city. They have a contingency of 175 highly trained operative monks at their discretion with dozens of other affiliate agents and spies connected to other institutions. They have multiple people like Sensei fantasy and Naomi directly connected to the legislature.
History
The Bushido DK was started after the former Vice president of the first Zumurai administration, Junichiro survived a horrific car bombing years after the official dissolution of the original Zumurai party after the assassination of the Zumurai President Victor Von Valley at the hands of its founder Soulman Solomon Shiazuki. Junichiro tried tirelessly to keep the Zumurai party relevant and viable after their defeat and dysfunction after Victor's death and Soulman's imprisonment. He tried to regain legitimacy as a representative, trying to keep the party together to keep his friend Soulman's dream alive but to no avail.
The people had abandoned the party as the notoriety of recent events branded them as unstable, infighting, mad-men socialist. All the while corporate media ran countless hit pieces and smear campaigns against all the numerous successes of the party; painting them as short-term solutions, ineffective and too costly. the liberal and conservative parties systematically began to dismantle various Zumurai programs despite success and popularity citing the cost of the programs, misrepresenting and understating even outright undermining and ignoring the success of the programs while over-analyzing and scrutinizing the less-than-reputable Bushido laws put in place. All culminating in a mass re-privatization of industries and the dismantling and discontinuation of key state institutions propagated by the Zumurai party.
As Zumurai representatives and officials began to be dubiously arrested, outvoted, and ostracized and further atomized and divided with many other Zumurai: resigning, assimilating into the Liberal and conservative parties, and going missing and smaller more vocal, farther left voices were silenced and assassinated in secret; Junichiro stayed in the game as long as he could, eventually having to resign, whereafter he became a struggling activist. After an incident involving a car bombing that killed his eldest son and severely injured him and his stepson, Junichiro was several scared and disabled. Under Naomi's care both receiving extensive augmentations and plastic surgery.
Years of recovery left him bedridden - deeply contemplating the failure of the Zumurai party and the state of his nation, keeping his ear to the ground, biding his time by surrounding himself with useless trinkets, surviving on his savings, thankful his medical debt taken care of by Naomi and Nolgi caring for him personally. The brain trauma from the explosion left him with visions of golden blobs of light strolling across his vision. Spending hours on end reading self-help and diet books, reading Marx, and theory. Looking over the teachings of his late friend Soulman whom he had loved madly, seeing him almost as a prophet. Then, one day, Naomi had sent him footage of Visell's attack on the Abandoned Fuji Fujiko Playhouse, and the rippling effects that it had on the community lit a fire in him, a revelation, a vision, a purpose. That same day he called Naomi to inquire about the video, to discover that the long-haired girl was her daughter, Soulman's eldest daughter, his own God-Daughter. Soon after, he had discovered his stepson, DoShay was involved in acts of domestic terrorism against the Corporations. Junichiro asked Naomi to protect himself and the boys, housing them in an abandoned Buddhist temple. As he entered the run-down temple his purpose became clear.
A vision of a multicolored rainbow of men and women, young and old caring for each other and the downtrodden. Organizing to protect the commonwealth peoples of Undo-lashiima . . . at any means necessary. He became enlightened.
Junichiro puts the remainder of his savings into buying the Temple, renovating it, and expanding on it, as Naomi utilizes favors from Nolgi and Yoshi and her own personal touch to turn this dinky little Temple into a religious front for a base of operations. Outfitting it with secret rooms and compartments, tunnel systems and smuggling bays, weapons caches, short-range jammers, security systems, medical supplies, food stores, training facilities as well as renovating the decor and the main sanctuary, going as far as to construct her own personal mini-laboratory under the temple.
Over the next 4 years, Junichiro and Naomi establish the Bushido DK. Recruiting small activists and leftist groups, defected citizens, Zumurai loyalists, and exiles. absorbing small militant resistance groups under the Bushido DK's banners. Over the years they fast-tracked recruits into potential combatants, utilizing the talent of Nabindago, the old Zumurai Militus to train the recruits as well as defected sword masters and weapons specialists from the old Zumurai party's military council. Junichiro changes his name to Sensei Ugetsu or Master Fantasy, runs for a local representative election for Sector 5 where the temple resides, and winds by the skin of his teeth.
Visell officially joins the Bushido DK in 2066 after the death of Maria. After officially joining she is gifted Shuger upon her official initiation, her father's sword.
Arthur joins a couple of years after Visell and her reunite. She undergoes intense weapons training and physical conditioning; like all the other members of the inner circle as extensive military-grade augments. She is also given an experimental augment that gives the user the ability to sense Gizo-jins through sight.
